Is anyone else been happy with Murphy lately?

May just be me, and I know he is still extremely over-payed. But still, he has actually been playing well in my eyes the last few games. Might just be me.

I want to see the 20-10 GSW guy again. I'm willing to wait
Rest in Peace, Pacerfan

I like him. He plays hard, and he's been rebounding well. He's no longer forcing anything on offense. At the beginning in Golden State I always viewed him as Jeff with an offensive game.

I like that we're getting production from a lot of different people. Jermaine will be rested for the second half and can bang inside when it matters...

I love this Lakers announcer talking about Andrew Bynum. "He is a 7 footer that plays 7 feet."

I feel like John Madden is commentating on the game.

Obie pulls Granger and puts Dunleavy on Kobe.

Need I say more?

Ouch..this is painful.

Yes, you need to say more. Kobe just got his shot, it isn't because of bad D.

Kobe can go off on anyone, I know. But Dunleavy? I'd rather have Owens on him, or Daniels.

Murphy and Foster lead our team in assists. We need Tinsley back.


Anyway, thats game, our defense doesn't exist, the few times the Lakers miss they get the offensive rebound anyway. Unless Pacers sign Reggie after the 3rd quarter and he can pull another 25 point 4th quarter, then this game is done.

Hopefully the Pacers prove me wrong.

The third quarter has historicly been a poor period for us, but this is just wrong...

Obvious not many watched this game so let me the first to tell ya... don't let the boxscore fool you.... Pacers point guards were awful again tonight. Owens was 1-5 and had 2 assists until the final min ( blowout ) when he he hit 2 shots behind the arc. Diener came in for the final 10mins and brought some energy but also did make shots until the final few mins and had 4 ugly turnovers and what can I say about Daniels besides he just looks uncomfortable trying to play point guard. Add salt to the pg problem Fisher put on a show in the 4th ....

Well the Lakers PG's weren't any better tonight. Fisher got hot when the game was already over, so big deal.

How is Keith doing in Europe Dew?

Well guys... I ended up losing the assist category this week by 1... Was it really that much to ask Kobe or Dunleavy to get one additional assist today?

I even ended up tieing in blocks -_-... Man... GDamnITyo...

Exactly what I've been saying.


With each game I'm getting more discouraged with Obie's coaching style. I loved it at the start of the year. Now Diogu, Williams, and Harrison are barely getting minutes off the bench. I never saw any reason as to why that should happen, other than Diogu's injury. Williams just randomly started getting time, Diogu hasn't played good minutes since coming back(which I can understand if hes not in shape), and Harrison has had nagging injuries, but I get the feeling he wouldn't be playing if healthy either. I want to see our young players get some time.

There is no question he is a player .... The problem he has ( as do several of the Pacers ) is that he does not take the ball to the rim nearly enough or he would really be a star. He basically relies on his jump shot and if he is hitting ( good game ) if not ( he usually disappears offensively ).

During a 14 game span in December ( 34.8min ) he took a total of ONLY 30 foul shots .....YIKES !!!
